Terror and confusion reigns in the capital-of Portugal.—(See under the article of Paris, the Portuguese news,) We know now that the.diepositions which have been manifested by our Cabinet, have compelled the Portuguese'refugees to preei fitate" their , departure. It aeons, that they have taken this step in consequence of a conference which General Longa had at Val ladolid, with General Silveira. The ;after was informed that the Cabinet of Madrid yielding to the urgent representations of divers other Cabinets, and 1106(4'1101y to the threats of Mr. Lamb, was 011 the point of being forced to oppose itself 'to the departure of the Portuguese refugees.' To-obviate the effect of itch a rites 'Ore, and for the purpose of reicuing Spain front the singular re spontibilities attempted to be fixed to it, Silveira deterinined upon - marching instantly, and the Marquis tie Chaves receiving the same intelligence from hint did the same thing: After their departure Orders arrived from Madrid.- General Longa left :Valladolid on the V let of November, at the head of the hum Regiment of Ca and of seVerel battalions of Infantry, but it was ton late 'to stop the Portuguese, and front that moment General i.onga was to take a position on time frontiers for the sake of obser , yatitin; andoto prevent any supplies of arms and antraunition ,heiog sent. - - . • • Nov. 30 . ...-2 The entrance of the Royalists into Portugal has caused a deep sensation on the public'. mind.

Yesterday the Committee appointed by the House of Commons $O. inquire into the conduct of those Members of the House who are connected with the Company above mentioned, and to report,en the evidence adduced, met at one o'Cloelc, for the purpose of carrying on the investiga tion, and examining witnesses. The meeting was fully at temled, but was 'confined to those Members who had been appointed on the Select Committee. Mr. Robert Grant in the Chair. -We-understand that the first subject of consideration was that of. the course of inquiry to be pursued, .whieh having been in some measure determined, the Sit;retary Of the . Coropany wee called; but he not being in waiting, Mr. Comerford, the SOlicitor to certain Requisitionists who have disapproved of the conduct of the Ex-Directors, wad then called in and examined. In reply to questions Which Were, put to him, he stated, that he was not Solici tor to the Company ; but, as before mentioned, acting, for a majority of the Shareholders in the investigation lately carried on out, of doors, Nothing important to the great queStion before .the. Committee came out. Application having been made by the pelt) , most interested in , this in quiry (Mr. Brogden), to be allowed to attend for the pur- Mse of examining Nvitnesses by himself or his Counsel, r. Harrison, who was. in waiting, the Committee pro ceeded to discuss the propriety of acceding to such a re quest. After having been occupied fora short period in considering this subject, they decided that any Honourable Member should he allowed: to be present during the inves tigation, and that under these circumstances, 'Mr. Brogden had an undoubted right to be present. If we are rightly informed, Mr. Brogden objected to be present as a disinterested individual, claiming it as a right to have the power of taking an active part in the inquiry, as he considered it necessary for the elucidation of truth that the witnesses should be closely examined- tonching certain points: We believe.that the result of Mr. Brogden's ex postulation was, that no evidence having as yet' been brought forward which implicated that gentleman, it was deemed inexpedient to admit him on any but the general grounds before stated. The Seeretary to the Company, upon being called, was examined upon generel points, and in accordance with the order of the Committee, produced the documents connected With the Company ; which, if we may judge of : their im portanee by their bulk, must necessarily occupy, in no slight degree, the time of the Committee and ,the curiosity of the public. - This witness having retired, Mr. Henry and Mr.loseph Clarke, two of the Ex-Directors, who were in attendance With Mr. Heeling, their Solicitor (formerly the Solicitor to the Company), were called. Mr. Henry . Clarke was only, however, examined. To the evidence of this witness much ithpintence , was attached, he being one of the ori 7 ginal concoctors of this Company, and the person through whose hands the spoilof, 15,004 passed, prior to its mis application---now the great point of inquiry. We understand that Mr. Serjeant Adams, formerly standing Counsel to the Company, and ! the gentle Man who so resolutely opposed the admisson of persons connee - ted with' the Preis, 'at the meeting of 'Oki Comtany When retained the first. exposh took place, was on the art 'of this witness; but the Learned Serjeunt was not called upon by the Comthittee to give his services . in the investigation. We helieye that the Learned Gentlemen, having been one of the original Proprietors and the Legal Adv)ser of the Ex-Directors, will himself' be called as a witness upon this important occasion. After an examination of Mr. Henry Clarke, which last ed upwards of an hour, but which we omit out of defer ence to Parliamentary usage, the Committee adjourned until to=morrow (this day) at eleven. The witnesses were called in, and desired to attend at that hour. Amongst, the witnesses present were, besides those whom we have mentioned, Mr. Wilson, late of the km of Wilson and llolroyd, the former solicitors of the Com pany ; and Mr. Butt, formerly a clerk in the employment of the Company. We noticed also Major Mule, a large proprietor. Mr. Flattery WAS not in attendance, although k was stated that an order had been served upon him. On Saturday, the Comthittee of the House of Cominens upon the sit jest of the proceedings of tide Company resumed its labours. Attire' hour of eleven Many of the members bad arrived, and Mr, Robert Grant, the - Chairtrian, twit* taken the chair, liusinees was immediately commented, in the early stages of the pro.. eeedings Of the day, 11Ir. 13rOgrlen bent present, a slight dieens= trimn . took piece upon the point referred to in our last account of what occurred before the Committee, as to the permission to that lion. Member to examine the several witnessee touching the mat tars in whirl' he felt interested, It will be recollected, that upon she lion. Mtimber's' application in the first instance, it was, for reasons then assigned, deemed ineipedient to accede to his re quest. 'The Committee, however, upon further consideration, al tered theiCfirrit resolution, and inflamed Mr. Brogden'that he was at liberty to put inch questions as he might' think proper to the Witheises, through the medium of the chair.' In the count° of the ' cenvereation which "arose when 'thin Communication was made, the Chairman' apprized the members of the CoMmittee that he had received a letter from Sir Win, Congrevt., in Which that rion. Member had rereteeted permission to be preeent by Counsel, his indieposition being such as to render his personal 'attendance impossible. h was hereupon suggeited by one of the Members of the Cominitttie, that it woidd be unjust to admit Counsel en 'be half of one Hon. Member, and to reject an application of a similar mauve on tlie part of soother. • ' Mr. 110111101'NY, in expressing himself on this suliject, stated that it ',could he clearly an act. of injustice to comply with Sir W. Congreve'e request, Without gantillg a cOrrespouding indidgence to the How. Member thin present. • lifi;.:Broarlin having ietitiO, a considerable period was DiTu pii'd in discuising the propriety of allowing both mernberia have the assistance of room 1. It was hi the end deemed tioadvisible to deviate from the course adopted in the first itertance, while it was also admitted' that it %torrid be an act/of injustice to the lion. Member, whose illness prevented his attendance, to allow Mr. 'Broaden to enter into the examination to whit Is we have previ oiisly referred. In' . the diseustirro on ;he pr o priety of erhuittine or rejecting : this very imopot t privilege, Mr. Maberley, AlderrnaM Wait:hem), Mr. Horace Time, Nicholas Cidireene: and thel Chairman, took an active part. At half-pait 12, the examination of Mr. Henry Clarke, who,' front his evidence, appears to have been, the most active pereon Concerned in the operations of the company, was resumed, in the eonrso of his examination eopieri of the original agreementa for the purchase of the,property were put 4.

This (melt not having beta' acceded to on the part of Major Hintht, who, op to that period, 'had been in ignorance of the existence of inch a docriment, it became. necessary for the parties who had actually participated' in the spoil to conceal this fact, and make that explanation' on the sth of December, whith at that time (401. 1 004 se much public asionishineut.

This line of inquiry Was, however, discontinued as not being. iu conformity with the rules laid down for the gevernmeut of the committee.— In the course of the:exaMination, Mr. Henry Clarke retired upon two or occasions, to. afford the committee an op portunity of considering the nature of the questions he' proposed, and also to allow them son►c relaxation from the fatigues neces eerily attendant -upon the close attention which had been devoted to the subject. , • It ie expected that this witness will not be again called, until other witnesses, important for the elucidation of the facts, shall have been examined, and in pursuance of this intention Joseph Clarke, hiS brother, was ordered to attend on Monday. The Secretary of the Company. was called in at a late per►od of the day, and directed to produce the agreement before referred to, or any agreement bearing the same date. The deed of settlement, as well as other documents of such date, were accordingly laid upon the table. Amongst the witnesses in attendance• were Mr. Joseph ,Clarke, Mr. Butt, and Mr. Flattery. Mr. Joseph Clarke was attended by Mr. Healing, the soliCitor, and by Sergeant Adams. The pre sence of Mr. Wilson, the late partner of Mr. Holroyd, was dis pensed with, the Committee having ascertained in the course of the inquiry, that he was altogether unacquainted with the excep tionable transactions in the company, and an Order Was issued for the attendance of Mr. Holroyd, who.was the solicitor employed upon thSoCcasion, and who drew up the 'agreemSnts. .

His MAJasTv bas'exerted himself for some time past, in con junction With His Maiswry's Ally, the King of France, to prevent awl an'aggression ; and repeated assurances have been given by the Court 'of Madrid, of the determination of His Catholick MAJESTY, neither to commit, nor to allow to becom 'flitted, from His Catholic!: Manisres Territory, any aggression against Portugal. , But His MAJESTY has learnt, with deep concern, that, not withstanding these assurances, hostile Inroads into the Territory of Portugal have been concerted in Spain, and have been executed under the eyes of Spanish Authorities by Portuguese Regiments, which had deserted into Spain, and which the Spanish Government had repeatedly and solemnly engaged to &Warm end to disperse. His MAJEsnt leaves no effort unexhausted to awaken the Spanish GOvernMent to the dangerous consequencis of this ap parent connivance.' 'His NAJIEBTY unites this' communication to the House of Lords and Gammons, with the full and entire confidence that the House of Lords and His' Faithful Commons, will afford to His INIAsEsTe their cordial concurrence and support in maintaining the Faith of Treaties, and in securing against Foreign Hostility the Safety aialndependence of the Kingdom 'of Por tugal, the oldest Ally of Great Britain. O.R. Upon the Message being read in the Commons,' Sir, ROBERT 'WILSON rose and said, , that as His MAJESTY'S Message had superseded hiS Motion, he begged.leave to withdraw . it. lie hoped, however, that Ministers would act up to the full spirit of the occasion. We have received by express, late this afternoon, the 'Nile, dated yesterday morning. ft is, however, barren of political news, not containing one word of authentic intelligence relative to Portugal. Among the, assertions of other Papers, which it classes as lies of the day, are a report that Lieu tenant General Count BURKE is going to, Spain ; -that the neutrality of - the' French Ministers, re sheeting - the affairs of Spain, is a chimera; and that the English Government is going to embark b,OOO men for Portugal.

An article in the latter from Zamora, dated the 25th Novemlpr, gives an account of a severe action in the neighbourhood of that place, which had;been abandoned by the Constitutional gar- , rison, between the Royalists and'the troops which had formed this garrison, reinforced With 600 others ; and the Etoile positively states that' the castle 'of Bragauza was occupied on the 26th by the Marquis DE CRAVES; the town having been given up to • pillage for two hours. It is also announced by the same paper, that the Refugees in Estremadura had entered t h e Province of Beira.
